Venezuela’s leading human rights group PROVEA has delivered a seething condemnation of the war on Iraq in a letter handed in to the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK) and Spanish Ambassadors.

Calling the war “illegal and illegitimate,” PROVEA forecasts it will bring unforeseen consequences to the whole world, especially in the realm of public security.

“We wish you express to our solidarity with the pain this illegitimate and illegal action will cause the Iraqi people, whose human rights have been trampled upon enough already … we expressed the same solidarity with the pain caused on 9/11.”

PROVEA adds that the military action has undermined the United Nations (UN) as an institution and placed the USA outside the international rule of law.
